A compact heads-up display for your coding agent. Instruments while it works, the answer when it stops - for OpenCode , Claude Code , and Codex . Zero dependencies. The instruments and the activity line update in place - no scrolling wall of tool calls. The prompt bar is always writable : hit enter mid-turn and your message queues, firing the moment the answer lands. esc interrupts without losing the session. When it stops, the answer lands in full - markdown rendered, links clickable - and you reply right there. Sending a follow-up recompacts the screen back to just instruments and prompt bar. npm install -g adrida/hud-mode && hud install hud install walks you through it: your default…from github.com

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
